Home Life of Modern Persians.

The home life of the modern Persian is not
as dull and devoid of intellectual pleasures as
the low state of education and of general
knowledge would lead one to suppose. The
Persian enjoys the society of his womankind
OF every species, and while he undoubtedly is
their tyrant and bondmaster, ne is on the
whole an indulgent one to his wives, seeghays
temporary wives, and slaves. They play on
the Persian lutte, and dance to him, and tell
him stories of the interminable. wildly
imaginative kind in true Scheherezade style
But what delights the average Persian
more than anything else is the reciting of
poetry The whole nation is fairly imbued
with poetry: it oozes out Of them on every
occasion. Even the speech of the common
drudge is impregnated with il. Thus, then,

The science of surgery has made such
wonderful nrogress IN modern times,
that the most intricate and delicate oper-
ations are now undertaken and carried to
a successful issue. There are now sew
eral well authenticated cases of what is
known as pneum0tony, that is to say, the
removal of diseased portions of the lungs
in cases of consumption. While, how
ever, this delicate operation has somes
times been successfully performed. the
risks attending it are so great, and the
chances of recovery SO slight, that it is
seldom resorted to. The safest plan in
consumptive cases is to use DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This will
always cure the disease in its early stages,
thoroughly aresting the ravages of the
terrible malady, by removing its cause
and healing the lungs.

A German, one of whose eyes was severely
affected, went to an oculist for treatment
An operation was necessary, and the eye was
removed. While treating the socket previous
to transplanting one from rabbit, one Of
the visual organs of the latter being pre-
pared and laid upon the table, a cat stole in,
and before any one could prevent had seized
and eaten the rabbits eye. No other rabbit
being at hand to furnish the eye, the oculist
waited until his patient had recovered from
the state of anasthesia necessary to the
operation, and explained the dilemma to
him "Yah, yah, de katz ate mine eye up;
so, so, veil put an eye of dat KATE in mine
eye. Dot katz got mine eye, viii hat dot
katz's eye.n The oculist did so for the sake
of the experiment, when, strange to say, the
operation was successful and the cats eye
worked perfectly. One day the German met
friend, who said:
Hans / hear dat you hat katz eye in
your head in, how ish dot~ Hans explained
the circumstance, and his friend said: "Oh,
see, dot katz got your eye and you got dot

a thick phlegmy discharge; ehilliness at night:
difficult breathing; tighiness across the chest !;
these and many more symptoms indicate the pres

means certain death with long and painful suffer
ing.
In view of such serious and ever present facts
the suggestions and advice of the most eminent
physicians are OF the greatest value,
Dr. John Gardner, one OF the most eminent ply

on the order of "a Parlor Match,

at Harper's theatre tomorrow evening.
Although the attraction is new to us, it

the artists in the organization are favor
ties here already. Notably so are Messrs.
Donnelly. Gilbert and Girard, the famous

Ames and Rachel Booth, who did much
to bring Tin Soldier" into popular favor.
We take pleasure in quoting the following
from the Cincinnati Commercial Gdzette:

success last evening was most pro-
nounced; in fact, it was quite beyond
anything the most sanguine had expects
ed. Heuck's handsome theatre was lit,

be found anywhere-either in parquet or
gallery-and standing room was AT pre-
MUM long before the curtain rose. Ex>
pectation had been raised to the highest
pitch, and the keen desire on the part of
the mang to see Messrs. Gilbert. Donnelly
& Girard. in parts specially fashioned for
them, had collected one of the best audi
ences ever seen at Heuck's. Nor was
there anyone disappointed in their ante
ipations of fun. Fun there was, and that
of such an irresistible kind that people
really laughed themselves hoarse before
the play was half completed. "Natura
Gas" is the best play by long odds, of the
recent farce comedies; but more impor-
tant than all, is the fact that it is inter
preted by compaLy-including tht
